Protik Ganguly

Chief

Protik Ganguly is the Founder and Chief of RationalDrift. His career has been spent at the intersection of technology, business, and systems — building software, designing enterprise platforms, and helping organizations solve complex problems through automation, data, and artificial intelligence. He currently works as an AI Architect at Snowflake, building AI agents designed to work alongside teams rather than simply automate around them — giving him a front-row seat to one of the most significant technological shifts of our time. His interest in economics and markets emerged from the same curiosity that drew him to technology in the first place: understanding how complex systems behave. With a background spanning engineering, information systems, and business, he became increasingly fascinated by the patterns connecting technology, policy, markets, and everyday life. RationalDrift was created from the belief that these ideas shouldn't be reserved for specialists. Through clear explanations, rigorous research, and a healthy skepticism of conventional wisdom, his goal is to help readers better understand the forces shaping the world around them — and make those insights accessible to anyone willing to learn.
